Still Crazy After All These Years
by Paul Simon
Tabbed by BaddGuitar
Here's a "simplified" version of this jazz classic. This song has
some crazy chord progressions. I've tried to capture the overall
tone without impossible chords.
A video of THIS tab being played:

Here's some footage of Paul Simon playing this song on the
guitar in the key of D while he was still working on it:

He eventually brought it up to the key of G and it
was played on a keyboard. All chords and a few riffs
are listed at the bottom. I left out the Sax solo.
Please purchase the track to get the timing.

I met my old lover on the street last night
She seemed so glad to see me I just smiled
G G7/B C C#dim7(2)
And we talked about some old times And we drank ourselves some beers
Still crazy after all these years Oh...
Still crazy after all these years
I’m not the kind of man who tends to socialize
I seem to lean on old familiar ways
G G7/B C C#dim7(2)
And I aint no fool for love songs that whisper in my ears
Still crazy after all these years Oh...
Still crazy after all these years
Amaj7 B Bsus2 Emaj7 E (See Fill #1)
Four in the morning crapped out, yawn - ing
Abm7 C#sus4 C# F#maj7 (or F#)
Longing my li-fe away
Em7 B C B C G (See Fill #2)
I’ll never wor-ry Why should I?
It’s all gonna fade
Now I sit by my window and I watch the cars
G F#dim7 Bsus4 E (See Fill #3)
I fear I’ll do some damage one fine day
But I would not be convicted by a jury of my peers
Still crazy after all these years, Oh
Still crazy Still crazy
Still crazy after all these years
